New White Oak bottling

A little bird told us that White Oak is putting out a no age statement bottling at the end of the month: a vatting of a young bourbon and slightly older sherry cask.

The bird, who is partial to the odd dram and is not associated with the distillery or a retailer, said it was a simple but approachable whisky and will retail for just over ¥2,000. It will be non-chill filtered, non coloured and 46 percent alcohol.

The idea is for this whisky to become a core official bottling, replacing White Oak's 5-year-old at the bottom end of its range.
